1) I will have a cup of coffee in the morning and read my newspaper like I used to, before the Web.

2) I will eat breakfast with a knife and fork and not with one hand typing.

3) I will get dressed before noon.

4) I will make an attempt to clean the house, wash clothes, and plan dinner before even thinking of BBS.

5) I will sit down and write a letter to those unfortunate few friends and family that are internet-deprived.

6) I will call someone on the phone who I cannot contact via email.

7) I will read a book...if I still remember how.

8) I will listen to those around me and their needs and stop telling them to turn the TV down so I can hear the music on web radio.

9) I will not be tempted during TV commercials to check my email.

10) I will try and get out of the house at least once a week, if it is necessary or not.

11) I will remember that my bank is not forgiving if I forget to balance my checkbook because I was too busy on my computer.

12) Last, but not least, I will remember that I must go to bed
sometime ... and the internet will always be there tomorrow!
